"I want you here in 3:00 o'clock sharp Akaya," Akari chided, making the sea-weed mischief to scowl, "And no excuse or else I'll pounce you right infront of your team mates. Is that understood?" Her dark green eyes shoot an icy glare, making his face shift from scowl to growl. "And don't give me that look."
"But I have practice today Nee-chan!" He tried reasoning out, only to make her more adamant, "Besides, flowers don't suit me. They are itchy and thorns sticking out."
Akari placed the gardening shovel down and propped a hand on her waist, making Kirihara flinched, knowing what that stance mean, "Practice? Where? In the Panchinko Salon again? And don't you reason out that flowers don't suit you A-ka-ya," Akari replied, slowly and sarcastically drawling the syllables of his name out. "They do honestly. You're just damn living up with your reputation, little brother."
Kirihara slumped his shoulder and bowed his head in defeat, "Okay, you win Nee-chan. Its really no use arguing with you..." he picked his tennis bag from the table, "I'll be here in 3:00 o'clock sharp." He announced, slightly dashing his way out. And in a hurry, he opened the door brashingly, causing a collision with the unsuspecting girl who unceremoniously appeared. Everything next happened fast. And all Kirihara could hear is the crashing sound of his back on the floor, and the feeling of her crashing down on top of him.
"Are you alright?" Akari quickly made her way to them, checking up on the girl and purposely ignoring Kirihara.
The girl suddenly stood up after seeing their awkward position on the floor, apologizing profusely at the commotion her sudden appearance had caused. Kirihara, who is still lying on the floor, had clearly seen the flush on her cheek...and those apologizing gray eyes, that are almost close to tears. A smile of amusement bubbled on his lips and though he did not make a sound, she could hear him laughing inside, and it irked her enormously. Akari, who noticed the silly grin on her brother's face hit him on the back and shot the girl an apologetic glance.
"My brother could be a clumsy idiot at times," Akari declared, patting a symphatetic hand on the girl's shoulder. Kirihara frowned and quickly stood on his feet. "But I should say, he is sure cute when he's blushing," Akari prodded, making Kirihara blush more like a tomato.
And before any more embarrassment rain his way, Kirihara jolted out of the door and run his way to the nearest bus station...with his cheeks still aflamed and his heart seems to be pounding out of his chest, "Che! Stupid Nee-chan..."

"So you mean, you're going to work at the hana-ya this afternoon?" Yukimura softly asked, earning a boyish nod from Kirihara. The buchou gave Sanada a side glance, waiting for some approval. The fukubuchounods, finding it no problem since the present practice is not really that mandatory.
"Well, it seems its alright if we do take a break, a little more early than we usually do," he said jauntily, clapping his hands together, a bulb of idea suddenly appeared, making the others sweatdrop. "And since we are all going to go home early, why don't we help Akaya in the shop instead? Do you agree Renji?"
Yanagi flips his notes, scanning to whatever possible schedule he might have, "I see no problem to that." He replied casually, closing the pages of his notes. "Besides, its a temporary change of phase for us. A good way to relax," he explained making Sanada agree, and the others groan...especially Kirihara. Once these three decided on something in unison, there's no turning back or else, if you refuse without a reason, you'll face their wrath for days to come.
